A security and technology company have been handed a prestigious award for their work in enhancing Newcastle International Airport鈥檚 surveillance systems.
Last year the North East鈥檚 largest airport engaged Gateshead-based IT Company Advantex to further upgrade and improve the CCTV technology across the site.
The security and technology firm, who recently installed state-of-the-art digital cameras at key locations across the airport, has now been named the 鈥楳ost Innovative Solution of the Year鈥� at the AXIS Partner Showcase Awards.
The unique IP-operated security system has the ability to be easily upgraded to accommodate any future airport expansion or change in requirements.
This is to ensure that airport and airline employees, suppliers and millions of passengers can continually benefit from further heightened levels of safety and security across airport鈥檚 land.
Steve Duchar, IT manager at Newcastle Airport, said: 鈥淲e are absolutely thrilled that Advantex have been given this fantastic award for the work that they have completed within the airport.
